haiduk is a heavy metal solo-project by guitarist luka milojica. the one-man concept was created in early 2009 and came to life with the release of an 8-song demo album- “plagueswept” (january 2010).
aggressive and raw, the sound of haiduk is a direct channeling of haunting musical ideas from composer to listener, as the songwriting, recording and finalizing of the music is a solitary process. free from outside influence, the songs lure the listener towards themes of primeval nature, solitude, folklore and myth.
"Plagueswept" lyrics:
1. Grom
(Instrumental)
2. Entering the Lair
I plunge into mountanous depths of stone and ice
As a cold and chilling breath is rising from the bowels
Fire! Flickering torchlight is slowly burning out
but I know the path that leads me down to the zmaj
Embrace! Invade the dragon’s lair to stand and fight
Unsheathe my blade, drink the fear that seeps into my veins
Avenge! Predator turns to prey this fateful day
My blade pierced him through the scales as his life was pouring out
3. Dark Forest Path
Daylight to dusk
Shade the sky
The still of night
Evokes a darker side
Following the dark
Forest path
The first time I
Looked deeper down
4. Siege
Stronghold in my sight
Mangonels are prepared
Katapult rocks of fire
Boulders fall crushing skulls
Battering down the gate
Buckling from the weight
War machines shakes the ground
Battlements crumble down
5. Timestill Abyss
In ancient times of primordial beasts
Burrowing deep through the crust of the Earth
Delve into a realm where the course of time slows
Eternally subsisting, never growing old
Fall into the timestill abyss core
Sweltering heart of the underworld
Emanate warmth to a life form
Everlast thoughts of a dark void
6. Demon Descent
See them rise, the corpses rot
Decaying body begins to walk
Reanimate, send back to life
Undead await for a final strike
The army fought, the last one dropped
Rejoin ranks and standing tall
A thousand years the light they fought
Swords swinging they will never stop
7. Subterranean
Halls of sarcophagi
Consumed by walls of lime
Ancient voices call
From depths of distant time
This life above the ground
summons me further down
Descend into the shrine
And further away from life once mine
8. Forgotten
(instrumental)
